I'm a huge fan of A5 wagyu beef (and the various brands aside from Kobe) living in Japan. I treat myself to it on special occasions. But I understand how some minority (yes, you MatPat) would consider it "too soft/fatty" as I have the same sentiment for fatty tuna. Generally you have your Akami (non-fatty tuna), Chutoro (medium fatty tuna) and Otoro (fatty tuna). I want to preface with the fact that I like them all, but my least favorite is the fatty tuna as I feel that it's a bit overboard with its fattiness. But with tuna and wagyu alike, they're not priced based on how "good" they are but because of how much or little you can get out of one animal.

"You ate a Christmas tree so your opinion is invalid" Honestly so true

5:13 Oh nah the editors are boutta revolt against MatPat 💀

Got to give it to the editors in this video, those burn/fade effects with the images over the wood texture are really nice. Looks like actual burn marks being made in reverse when the sprites/text fades away. Made me pause and wonder how they achieved it haha.

I like how you treat "Vegitarian" as a language at 0:55

2:18 Glad you got the difference between Pescatarian and Vegetarian correct in this video!

When I worked in a steakhouse back in the early 2000's. We would get our beef from distributors of course. They messed up and sent us high grade Japanese beef (can't remember the number). But we got it at the same price as our normal beef. When I started carving it was apparently the amazing beef that it was. I cooked a steak up and I turned into a toddler. Drooling, unable to speak clearly. It was that amazing. So if you do get the right kind from Japan you're definitely in for a treat of a lifetime. Wait, the easter bunny isn't real?!

Definitely one of the few times where having worked in a grocery store meat market is useful. I remember my manager/butcher, who had decades experience, telling me, about 5 or so years ago when food was cheaper, it's not real Wagyu if it's less than $80 a pound and it wasn't something we could hope to get, even as a special order. This was important because an independent butcher across town was selling "Wagyu" ribeyes for like $30 each and occasionally customers would wonder why we didn't do that too. I can say though that Certified Angus Beef, specifically the brand by that exact, precise name, was pretty legit on meat quality. Not the highest end stuff for sure, but it was definitely a step-up from the other beef we cut. CAB says only 25% of the cattle they raise meets the standards for the brand which, if true, does help reinforce that.

MatPat just did his riskiest intro ever fr.

Fun fact, in the 90s when my parents lived in Japan, they would look out and see a farmer walking their cow like a dog in the super tiny neighborhoods

that is probably the part I never understood about wanting a "wagyu" or "kobe" product when it's ground up. You can literally take the "worst" parts of a cow the tough muscles grind it up add beef tallow and that's it it would literally have the same texture and probably flavor as taking the most expensive kobe beef and grinding it up into a patty as well.

No warning no preparation no way I was expecting him to say that

I was a wedding photographer for about 15 years. One bride came from a family that raised beef cattle. They were quite successful - private jets, chauffeurs, personal assistants for each member of the family, that sort of thing - and the wedding reception was a beef extravaganza. Like buffet tables piled high with every cut of beef you’d find at a high-end steakhouse. The beef everyone was talking about, however, was the Kobe. I was seated at a table with "the help," which included the family’s private pilots. One pilot told me that the Kobe was actually American Kobe, which doesn’t mean much. They had originally purchased some authentic Kobe cows from Japan (that’s what I was told, at least), but they’d been cross-bred with other Wagyu to get their numbers up and create some genetic diversity in the herd. Despite no longer being anything close to actual Kobe, the family still sold that beef for ridiculously high amounts of money. Like the meat from one cow was worth more than my house. Anyway, I chowed down on the Kobe tenderloin. It was really good, to be perfectly honest, but it was NOTHING like the expensive steak I had in Japan. Not even remotely close. It was tender but not buttery at all. It tasted like American grass-fed beef, only a bit richer and more complex, I guess you’d say. I have no idea where it would fall on the Japanese grading scale. It was the very best beef this family raised, though. Only the best for daddy’s little girl. I’ve never paid for Kobe or Wagyu since then, because I had learned that the names aren’t regulated in the United States. These days, I generally skip the red meat anyway, using Impossible "meat" instead of ground beef about 90% of the time. I’ll still eat a nice steak, though, but I won’t go out of my way to buy it for myself.

@@clarehui well I’m also from Asia and it looks the same so yeah how or you sure it ain’t from Philippines or Thailand or Lao They look same I’ve seen those places before and t he supermarket are pretty similar so they could be any of them unless you recognize the specific market because you’ve been there before or something

I get so freaking excited for food theory every week! I just saw the notification and yelled out "ohhhh yay food theory!" Out loud and my husband got a good chuckle

Can I just say how much I love Jerika's comments during the video. So good!

She was spot on.

Very informative as always, thanks again! 🫡

This video is how Olly found out the Easter Bunny doesn't exist.

I've gotten pretty into Elk Meat the past year. Its the perfect blend of beef and venison, but the only option where I live is ground elk. Its been amazing using it with Chili and Taco's, but plenty of other ground meat meals have been great with it too. Not had the opportunity to make burgers out of it yet, but it will definitely be the next recipe I use with it. On another note, is also a great alternative for people who have issues with with the beef industry, and/or don't like the plant-based stuff. Downside is that its more expensive than plain beef of course, but between elk, pork, and chicken, I've drastically reduced the amount of beef I consume in a year.

You should try a bison ribeye! Whole foods near me gets them in every now and then and the flavor is amazing.

7:20 a devious looking farmer is def what i needed to see today lol

There is a steakhouse near me that offers waygu With the following statement. We sell it at the market value for that day and may not always have it. I haven't tried ordering it because it's like $200. They do have some more affordable aged beef. And surprisingly some delicious vegetarian options.

7:26 eat a full 12oz Japanese wagyu steak and you’ll net be eating dessert that’s for sure

8:32 so we can thank Joe "Jellybean" Bryant for that (That was the nickname of kobe's dad when he played in the nba)

I went to Arby's once and saw the new (at the time) Wagyu burger. That was the first time I had heard that term so I had to Google it. Some minutes later, I got it out of curiosity and it tasted like any other burger. Haven't wasted my money on Wagyu since.

Thanks Mattpatt! Not only are your videos entertaining, but also educating me on how to protect myself from the ruthless jaws of corporations and misinformation

We are actually considering cross breeding some of our jerseys with Wagyu to make American waygu, jerseys and Japanese wagyu are fairly similar texture wise and apparently it turns out really nice steaks

I'm all for stuff like this but they need to make a new name for it, instead of marketing it as Wagyu

@@Ash_Wen-li Yeah but unscrupulous people will always try to be shady. Like said in the video if its being ground into a burger its probably not real lol

i dont know if its just me, but i feel like all these videos are now just facts not theories

This episode was super enjoyable!

5:39 In the book "Sorting the Beef from the Bull," the authors mention tests to determine the authenticity of Manuka Honey. Manuka trees, leptospermum scoparium, are grown only in New Zealand and Australia: in 2016 the theoretical threshold of production was 1,500 tonnes of honey based products. Yet, over 9,000 tonnes of Manuka honey were sold worldwide. You can't authenticate the honey through Genomics because different genera of the same leptospermum species of trees exist. Proteomics won't work since the only protein metabolite in the honey come from the protease enzymes in the honey bees saliva. Metabolomics is a bust since honey bees are fed glucose in winter conditions; higher glucose to fructose ratio is legal and not considered fraud.
